KARACHI: Lahore Lions’ off-spinner Adnan Rasool, who has bowled quite impressively for his team at the Champions League matches in India during the past week, has been reported for suspect action by the umpires, it was reliably learnt on Monday.
Adnan was reported by the on-field umpires Kumar Dharmasena and Chettithody Shamshuddin after the match against Kolkata Knight Riders in Hyderabad Deccan on Sunday which the Lahore Lions lost by four wickets. Adnan has been placed on a warning list but can play and bowl in a match.
Prior to his stint in India, Adnan was examined for suspect action at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore and he had comfortably passed the test since he measured in the range of 10 to 12 degrees.
Adnan was also earmarked as a contender for the ODI and T20 squads for the matches against Australia in the UAE next month and a hot contender to replace seasone spinner Saeed Ajmal who was banned for illegal bowling action by the ICC early this month.
